Penny Gusner, consumer analyst for Insure.com, observes, "It's interesting to see the possibility of some exclusivity in membership within the top three; one is military, and the other two are affiliated with AAA and are focused primarily in California."
USAA requires the applicant, applicant's spouse or applicant's parent to be actively or formerly involved with a branch of U.S. military service. CSAA and Auto Club of Southern California don't require AAA membership, however, Gusner adds, it may be a nice way to get some additional benefits, like lock out service and roadside assistance.
Residents of the Golden State aren't short of choices, but going with an insurer who is completely focused and familiar with one of the most densely populated areas of the country seems to be a good choice. But just because the company stationary reads, "California" doesn't mean it's the only state covered: CSAA writes coverage in 23 states plus the District of Columbia.

Methodology
Insure.com commissioned Op4G to survey more than 3,700 insurance customers nationwide in June 2016. The survey collected customer ratings for 20 leading companies in the auto category. Only current customers of the insurers on our lists were surveyed, and the survey was not open to the general public on the Insure.com website.
Auto insurers were ranked according to a weighted 5-point measurement of the following factors: customer service, claims processing, value for price, would recommend and would renew. Weighted measurements were derived from surveyed policyholders' rank of prioritization of these factors.
